Bromocriptine and cabergoline are both dopamine *agonists* (not antagonists, and that’s an important distinction because antagonists and agonists are literally the opposites of each other)
Just found out I probably have prolactinoma after having some blood tests. Being referred to a hormone specialist and will likely have a brain scan. This video was really helpful, thank you.
Hi girls, sorry my girlfriend have this, she's very young 19 and am 21 years, and i spend a lot am tired i need some adult talk with you guys if you don't mind
Please make a correction in your video. At 3:06 u said "dopamine ANTAGONISTS" ;but it should be "DOPAMINE AGONISTS"; as bromocriptine and other analogs are agonists for dopamine and so will decrease level of prolactin and then decrease the tumor size of adenoma,finally will cure the patient.
My prolactin levels are like 40s idk what they were when I was pregnant (probably super high!!) but I had the WORSTTTT symptoms and that’s when my eyesight started messing up in my left eye. I JUST NOW got put on cabergoline
@@ofisheaghogho9343 I had a feeling it's going to be a lifelong thing I have to live with, because it's been years now on treatment. Thanks for answering. It even showed that grew back a bit on my last MRI.
It can shrink it I think it works for about 80% If it’s super big you can try medicine and if it doesn’t work surgery thru nose which is super easy and not super invasive
@@lenathegawdxd766 Thanks for your kind information... By the way I didn't have prolactinoma, I tensed very much about that and caused headache and I have little high in prolactin level so combining that symptoms I selfly guessed me as I have prolactinoma... But I didn't have 😊 May God keep all people safe and healthy ❤️
Hello Doctor is possible to answer me ? i am a female never have been pregnant i found out today my prolactin is 830 my right armpit is always swelled and it hurts .. no galacturia i am worried i have a tumor
I think 29 is the highest normal in a woman who's not pregnant... Please let me know if it improved or not .. I'm also suffering from high prolactin levels and irregular menstruation . Please reply me and let me know about your current condition related to this particular hormone
Abnormally low prolactin levels can indicate potential pituitary gland dysfunction or hypopituitarism; consulting with a healthcare provider for a detailed evaluation is essential. ❤️
Untreated, a prolactinoma can cause reduced hormone production if the tumor presses on the pituitary gland, which may lead to symptoms such as weight loss or fatigue. Osteoporosis and Pregnancy complications.
It can make you infertile and not get ur periods or they can become really random. Mine started spacing out until I stopped getting them. I also always felt like I had ovarian cysts which I didn’t or ovary pain painful back and ovarian cramps during menses and painful periods and very heavy flow and long lasting flow like 9 days or longer
I had erectile dysfunction for the last 13 years... At the time of marriage I took some performance enhancing drugs to increase my testesterone and sperm count and erection and I have 2 kids all these times doctors were not able to diagnose my case 2 weeks back I saw an andrologists and he ask for my blood test and he told my prolactin level 25 ngl is too much and gave some medication. Could I recover and go back to normal erection and sex life after taking this medication as I had been suffering from this condition for the last 13 years from the age of 24 to current age 37.
Mine is in the thousands wen they tested it years back was in thousand but said it could be due to stress … now this time round it’s in thousands again and I keep having mc that’s why I requested fr bloods to be tested
Prolactinoma is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland that can lead to increased levels of prolactin in the blood. Elevated prolactin levels can affect the menstrual cycle and fertility in women. It's crucial to work closely with a healthcare provider, typically an endocrinologist, to manage prolactinoma and its associated symptoms. Treatment options may include medication or surgery, depending on the size and impact of the tumor. Regular monitoring and appropriate treatment can help manage prolactinoma and its effects on your health and fertility.
@@djquagmire5403 no but the problem went by itself. it wasnt proper white, just a very tiny amount of clear liquid. it may have been because of hormone imbalance. ive been sleeping more.

Can prolactinoma goes away fully with medication?
It can shrink it I think it works for about 80%
If it’s super big you can try medicine and if it doesn’t work surgery thru nose which is super easy and not super invasive

My prolactin level is 181.26 after treatment, hope I won't have pregnancy complication in the future?
as long as your prolactin is normal and complications are officially gone. it may take longer to get pregnant.
I think 29 is the highest normal in a woman who's not pregnant... Please let me know if it improved or not .. I'm also suffering from high prolactin levels and irregular menstruation . Please reply me and let me know about your current condition related to this particular hormone

@@AmarjitKaur-g8hdid your prolactin cured?? I have high prolactin level please help
Thank you for this video
could a prolactinoma have an adverse effect on ADH being produced?
at 3:07 it should say dopamine agonist rather than antagonistic.
My prolactin level is 0.4, way below the normal range. What does it mean when your prolactin is abnormally low?
Abnormally low prolactin levels can indicate potential pituitary gland dysfunction or hypopituitarism; consulting with a healthcare provider for a detailed evaluation is essential. ❤️
@@MedicalCentric Thank you for replying! 😊
Hello , what could happen if you dont take medication for this .
